Better Not Wake The Baby
THE DECEMBERISTS · What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World 2015 · Track 09 of 13
Written by Colin Meloy
Kick a hole in the hallway While singing like a painted lady Use your skull like a cannonball But it better not wake the baby
How long will this go on? How long, indeed? You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone But it better not wake the baby
Make your moan of your lot in life Split your mind half crazy Gouge your eyes with a butter knife But it better not wake the baby
How long will this go on? How long, indeed? You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone But it better not wake the baby
Drown yourself in crocodile tears Curse the gods what made 'ye Pine away for your better years But it better not wake the baby
How long will this go on? How long, indeed? You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone But it better not wake the baby
How long will this go on? How long, indeed? You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone But it better not wake the baby
